No pitting, it just didn’t pull all the patina off on the first pass.

Just a quick update. Had a very nice shave today and I am BBS! I’m not sure about the AS, it stays on the skin kinda heavy. We shall see. Life is good!

The Shave-
A quick update. Crazy busy work week, but I have managed my early morning shaves. Broke out the fancy gear and had a great shave today and I think this knot will break in just fine. I don’t do the fridge thing, I just use it. I am off work and done. Got a couple of nice Ribeyes to throw on the grill this evening. Life is good!

That looks like a luxury shave to me Tim!

Hey Tim when you got your Tony Miller strop did you do anything to it before using it?
Nope, just used it straight out of the box.

Hit the ground running very early on Saturday and didn’t have time to shave before I left. Finished off the day with a shower and shave. 3 nice easy passes with no AS. Vey nice.

The Shave-
Late morning shave to start the day. I kept the Haslinger, which delivered really good post shave feel last night. I also have a puck of Haslinger Honey. I think I’ll put that in a tin for a travel soap. That will give me lots of AS options to choose from. Also had the new Graydog Boar on deck again. The brush has been losing 2-3 hairs per shave, but it will stop eventually. I am really digging this TGN knot. It has plenty of backbone, but not as rigid as some of the Omegas. The hair is on the softer side, closer to a Zenith boar. It holds and releases lather well, in addition to painting. It is also starting to splay nicely with just the bit of usage it has. This is a keeper and should provide years of service. Another very nice 3 pass shave this morning and I’m ready for the day. Life is good

Thanks Chris, you too.
Doesn't sound like the shedding will be too much of a problem. What a gorgeous brush.

The Shave-
Nice shave this morning with my first SR. This is a Swedish Three Ranners that was a sight unseen purchase from WhippedDog. It’s a nice razor and heavier than my others. Looks like it needs a bit of cleaning. Hm ... ok gotta go.
